“It s a fine line,” Spencer said. “We definitely worked on it with
them to show them where the timing of their hits needs to be with where
the ball is at.

“It s very subjective. You watch tape, and there s guys battling
hand on hand and the call s not made, and other times it is, so we try
to teach proper timing, getting your head around and searching for the
ball.

Three of OSU s pass interference calls in the last two games have been called in the end zone.

Baylor focused on slowing OSU run game

Baylor coach Matt Rhule has emphasized his team s need to better
contain opponents rushing attack, and coming off a bye week, Oklahoma
State could see some different schemes from the Bear defense.

“All we know is what we see on film,” senior right tackle Zach
Crabtree said. “We try to stay focused on that. We have seen some things
on film and have an idea of what we re going to do and how we re going
to go about things. We ll be ready to go.”

“It will be a challenge for us but a great way for us linebackers to shine this game,” junior Kenneth Edison McGruder said.

Baylor has averaged just 118 yards per game on the ground so far, while the Cowboys are allowing 136 per game.

“We love that challenge Jonathan Cooper Jersey,”
linebacker Justin Phillips said. That s one thing we really pride
ourselves on, stopping the run first. If you can stop the run, you make
it one dimensional and the rest of the game just flows your way.”

With the added running backs and a week off to add to the game plan,
Baylor s rushing attack could have a different look on Saturday.

“A bye week is a chance for a lot of teams to put in new things and
learn different teams,” Edison McGruder said. “When a team gets an open
week, you have to be ready for anything and be on your toes. Saturdays
are always a battle. No matter who you are playing, you have to come
prepared and ready to play.”
